Anaesthesia and Analgesia: Locoregional Anaesthesia Course
June 15th-17th 2023 and June 22nd-24th 2023, Zurich, Switzerland
The course focuses on the acquisition of the theoretical and practical skills in the veterinary locoregional anaesthesia. A three-days course in which approaches to peripheral nerves and epidural and intrathecal space in dogs and cats will be discussed and carried out. The physiology and anatomy will be examined in detail, locoregional anaesthesia will be tackled with „blind“ techniques, with the help of the neurostimulator and the ultrasound scanner. The course is aimed at all those who have or not have experience in this field.
